Andrew Dice Clay (born Andrew Clay Silverstein on September 29, 1957 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American comedian and actor. Notorious for his highly profane comedy, he became popular during the late 1980s, but has since faded into relative obscurity. However, Rick Rubin was quoted on the "E! True Hollywood Story: Andrew Dice Clay" as saying to the effect "What's the bad news? That he's making seven figures in Vegas?", a reference to Clay's popular Las Vegas Strip comedy shows. His importance and contributions to the art of comedy and performance art are undeniable and he is number 95 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Standups of All Time.
